Intermediate filaments have a central role in maintaining the structural integrity of cells and tissues. The different proteins that constitute intermediate filaments show cell type specific ...

Myosin is a key molecular motor in eukaryotes from the plant and animal kingdoms. Interactions between myosin motor domains and actin filaments are powered by the turnover of ATP to generate force and ...

A laser-based system that can create mesh-like structures in a dish that resemble the cytoskeletons of cells has been developed by two RIKEN researchers. They demonstrated its usefulness for research ...

Color gradient filament is fun stuff to play with. It lets you make 3D prints that slowly fade from one color to another along the Z-axis. [David Gozzard] wanted to do some printing with this effect, ...
